FAQ

• What makes Manuka honey different from regular honey?

  Manuka honey comes from the nectar of the wild Manuka flower, found only in New Zealand. Unlike regular honey, it contains significantly higher levels of MGO (methylglyoxal) — a natural compound with antibacterial properties* that is rare or absent in ordinary honey. Every jar is raw, unpasteurized, and lab-tested for potency, so you get real Manuka — not just any honey.

• What does MGO mean?

  MGO stands for methylglyoxal — the naturally occurring compound that gives Manuka honey its unique antibacterial power*. While trace amounts may exist in some honeys, genuine New Zealand Manuka contains significantly elevated levels of MGO. The higher the MGO rating, the more potent the honey. Every jar of Mieland Manuka is independently lab-tested to verify its MGO level, so you always know exactly what you're getting.

• How do I know which Manuka honey is right for me?

  It depends on your wellness goals. MGO 50+ is perfect for first-time users and everyday enjoyment. MGO 300+ is great for daily immune support*. MGO 515+ and above offer stronger support for immune and digestive health*. Most customers notice the difference within 2–3 weeks of daily use*.

• Why is Manuka honey more expensive than regular honey?

  Manuka honey is rare — the Manuka flower only blooms for 2–6 weeks per year, and only in New Zealand's remote wilderness. It can't be grown or produced anywhere in America. Every jar of Mieland Manuka honey is lab-tested for 15+ purity markers, packed at source in NZ to guarantee the highest quality standards, and fully traceable from hive to spoon. You're paying for genuine MGO potency, purity, and proof — not just honey.

• How do I know your Manuka honey is genuine?

  Not all Manuka is created equal — many brands skip rigorous testing or repackage honey overseas, which brings risk of adulteration and diluting. At Mieland, every jar is packed at source in New Zealand — never repackaged, so there's zero chance of adulteration. Each batch is lab-tested for 15+ purity markers including MGO potency, Leptosperin (an antioxidant), glyphosate residue, and many more. Scan the QR code on your jar to view your harvest region, packing and expiry dates, and the actual lab-verified MGO level — which is always higher than what's stated on the jar. No guesswork — just proof.

• How do I use Manuka honey?

  One spoonful a day is all you need. Eat it straight, stir it into a warm drink, drizzle it over oatmeal or yogurt, or apply it topically to minor cuts and dry skin. See our Honey Guide for dozens of recipes and creative ways to use yours. Manuka honey has a richer, more complex flavor than regular honey — naturally less sweet with deep earthy notes and a slightly bitter undertone that comes from the high MGO content. Most people notice the difference within 2–3 weeks of consistent daily use*. It's a simple, natural addition to your daily wellness routine.
